Roadmap
From day-zero
to GA.
The plan. Dates we will hold ourselves to, written publicly so we can be held to them. Where we are honest about what is shipped, what is being built, and what is later.
How we plan
A milestone is a public commitment. It includes a deliverable, an honest date, and a definition of done. When something slips, we update the date here and explain why in the corresponding RFC.
We do not promise dates we cannot keep, and we do not paper over slips. The roadmap is the contract, and being transparent about it is part of that contract.

Day-zero benchmark: LDBC SNB IC.
Four LDBC SNB Interactive queries wired end-to-end on the synthetic datagen at scale=1.0. Medians in the microsecond to low-millisecond range. Methodology, dataset, hardware, and raw runs all published. - 2026 Q2Shipped
Storage Phase 1 gates closed.
Storage engine Phase 1 gates closed: cold p50 < 500 ms, warm p50 < 10 ms, ingest >= 10 K nodes/s. Real-WAN R2 measured at $0.02 per session. - 2026 Q2Shipped
v0.1: Server, Embedded, Python bindings shipped.
namidb-server (Rust daemon + Docker image), the embedded Rust crate, and the Python package (pip install namidb) all reach v0.1. One engine across three deployments, running on AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, MinIO, Tigris, LocalStack, and local filesystem. - 2026 Q2Shipped
v0.5: concurrent reads, Bolt protocol, shortestPath, WCOJ.
RFC-021 takes the writer mutex off the read path: a namidb-server fans out reads across every core (~7x at 8 readers on a 4-core box). RFC-022 ships Bolt v4.4 / 5.0 / 5.4 so every published Neo4j driver connects unmodified. RFC-023 lands shortestPath and allShortestPaths, unblocking LDBC IC13 / IC14. RFC-024 ships worst-case-optimal joins via leapfrog triejoin for cyclic patterns, behind NAMIDB_WCOJ=1. - 2026 Q3Building
Cloud closed beta with design partners.
The multi-tenant SaaS on namidb.com runs against the same engine. Namespace-per-tenant. Scale-to-zero. The first design partners move production workloads behind the door. Per-tenant cost data starts to land. - 2026 Q4Next
Streaming responses + GraphRAG SDK.
/v0/cypher/stream (NDJSON) and /v0/cypher/arrow (Arrow IPC) for zero-copy DataFrame ingestion. Hybrid vector + graph retrieval ships as a first-class SDK, riding on top of the Bolt + REST surface. - 2027 H1Later
Cloud public beta.
Cloud opens to the waitlist in waves. Measured per-tenant costs publish here. WCOJ becomes the default cyclic plan once the cost model lands the alternation gate. - 2027 H2Later
Cloud GA, and a stable wire protocol.
The point where you can build a business on top of us without an asterisk. Long-term support commitments. The wire protocol freezes.
Run it on your own bucket.
Early access to the Cloud is open. One launch email when the engine is ready, never spam.
